  • Standard Payments - Customers can request a late fee waiver when making a payment.
  • Installment Plan - Customers can request that the full amount due be broken into installments and added to future bills, in addition to the then-current amount due. 
  • Extension - Customers can request to pay their past due balance at a later date.
  • Budget Payment Plan - Customers are billed a fixed amount monthly, which is based on their previous year's energy charges. This makes it easy to budget energy dollars for the year.
  • Modified Budget Payment Plan - Customers with a Budget Payment Plan can request that a past due amount be broken into installments and added to the monthly Budget Payment Plan payment.

Although we resumed normal disconnection processes, we want to help customers avoid disconnection. Customers who are on a payment plan and making their payments won't be disconnected.  Our policy is not to disconnect services during a National Weather Service Heat Advisory for our service area, or the 48 hours following a Heat Advisory.

Past due customers are eligible for disconnection anytime between 42 to 64 days after their bill is issued. See the phased in approach of resuming disconnects for nonpayment of past due bills below. 

For more information on resuming normal operations please visit our Newsroom

If you are experiencing financial hardship and need payment assistance, we urge you to call us at (210) 353-2222 to set up a payment plan. Our energy experts can talk you through our payment plan options and assist you with a strategy to catch up on missed payments and bring your account current if you are behind. We can also help you determine if you qualify for Assistance Programs that are available to supplement utility bill payments for qualified participants.

If you haven't done so already, sign up for Manage My Account (MMA).

Remember we will NEVER call you and demand payment or threaten disconnection – but scammers will. So don’t be fooled by them.  Learn more about Scammers.
